Bestselling Italy expert, author, and travel consultant, Teresa Tomeo, walks with you in the footsteps of St. Francis of Assisi, one of the most beloved saints in history. You'll travel with Tomeo through the Italian countryside while she uncovers St. Francis' life as a mystic and miracle worker, and as the first recorded stigmatist. Learn about the inspiration and deep convictions behind St. Francis' founding the Franciscan Order and how he worked tirelessly to rebuild the Catholic Church through his service to the poor. Discover his deep spirituality and understanding of suffering bearing Christ's wounds, and his love and adoration of Christ in the Holy Eucharist which helped sustain him through it all.

Journey through sacred spaces and fascinating places in Umbria with Tomeo to Francis' beloved Assisi, his hometown and burial place. Then, travel with her to Rivotorto and Spoleto, key places in Francis' conversion, where he embraced his call to humility, mercy, and his love for the poor take root. Travel to Laverna in the Tuscany Region, where the mountain that St. Francis received the Stigmata is located, then venture to Greccio in the Lazio Region, the birthplace of the first Nativity scene where you learn about Francis' deep love for the Incarnation.

As a part-time resident of Italy who lives only a 40-minute drive from Assisi, Tomeo provides practical and local insider tips on how to fully embrace these faith and culture gems in the life of St. Francis. She walks you through the must-sees, the must-dos, and how to best navigate both--whether visiting them spiritually, or traveling there in person, all while helping you to soak in the beauty of Italy's rich culture and be renewed in your faith.

Pope Leo XIV declared 2026 the Jubilee Year of St. Francis of Assisi to mark the 800th anniversary of his death so there is no better time to delve deep into the life and footsteps of this beloved saint. Get to really know St. Francis. "You can't really know someone until you have walked a mile in their shoes."
